Peru has introduced ten new routes to access the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu during the high season from June 1 to October 15, 2024, and from December 30 to 31, 2024. In addition, the maximum visitor capacity to this world wonder will be expanded to 5,600 per day during this period.
The new routes are designed and scheduled with established capacities and shifts to preserve the archaeological heritage and guarantee an optimal experience for visitors. This move reflects Peru's commitment to sustainable tourism practices, which protect its iconic destinations.
Peru has developed initiatives to ensure the long-term sustainability of its tourism sector. The country's commitment to sustainable tourism practices is exemplified by Machu Picchu being the first tourist destination to achieve international carbon-neutral certification.
